james40:Now that's a knife. Mucho Gusto Tex.
jlmarta:Hey, whoa, who's this interloper claiming to be an oldfart (all one word)?? And brandishing a Gurkha sword, no less. An impressive piece, to be sure, but no proof of age. I laid claim to being the resident oldfart on these boards some time ago. So, Mr. Pilgrimtex, how old are you?? LOL.
Heavy:That's quite the kukri.
jlmarta: Heavy:That's quite the kukri.Thanks, Heavy, I couldn't remember the name of that formidable piece but, ya gotta admit, it's quite appropriate to be shown on this forum, no?We'll just chalk up my memory lapse to brain cramps - kinda common amongst us oldfarts.....
pilgrimtex:It's a regimental Kukri. One issued per regiment. Used for ceremonies such as lobbing the head off a water buffalo in one swipe and perhaps for disciplinary action. LOL I'm 67

LOL I'm 67I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. Pilgrimtex. And may I say I'm impressed with your facial pelage. Mine is not nearly so grand. As for age, I was born in November of 1936 so I've got you by a few years. Having said that, I see no reason why there can't be TWO oldfarts on these boards.... LOLSo, welcome, my friend. May your stay be a pleasant one......
